Can’t believe frampton had the audacity to tackle an opposition player with the ball who went to ground and assumed a cat curl position. He clearly should have known in that split second that there was no way to execute that tackle safely 🤦‍♂️ #outcomebased

[Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun]

Pies bracing for Frampton to be suspended for three weeks for his tackle on Mihocek. Did he breach his duty of care when his opponent was in a vulnerable position? Would leave their defence decimated. Puncher debut time? The Pickett trip is also contentious. Would normally be low impact but it dislocated Maynard’s shoulder. MRO could elevated the force and suspend Pickett but Maynard’s shoulder had already popped out of its socket once https://t.co/xSsiHF6m52

I was in Dublin for last years game they hosted. Pittsburg and Minnesota did a great job of taking over the town. Temple bar was flooded with NFL fans from both franchises.

[Jon Ralph @RalphyHeraldSun]

San Francisco 49ers officials are in town scouting venues for a Friday NFL watch party and live site for a fan ‘rally’ on the Thursday before the historic game. Keen to paint the town red and drown out the Rams fans. Plenty of fans missed out on tickets so they are keen to get the community involved. The team will be in Melbourne for a full week before the game. So plenty of interactive events, flag football, school visits. Potentially the five Lombardi Trophies on their way down south too 👇

@sportsmadjones If you put the channel on, it goes live. If you select the event/game, you get the option of live or from start. Having said that, I prefer the old non-streaming version. Only reason I don’t go back to that is because the car hole tv uses data rather than signal.

Botham, stokes, flintoff, Greg #opinions

[Jamie Magill @JamieMagill5]

In what order would you place England all-rounders Tony Greig, Ian Botham, Andrew Flintoff and Ben Stokes? 🏏 @RealMarkLatham

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

AFL: we don’t like those tactics

Umpires:

[Rach Danderfield @danderfield]

Just a thought; but maybe if we stopped implementing so many dumb rules and changing them every 3-5 business days, AFL umpiring would be better 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

Last night N Riewoldt said Essendon have “turned their season around”. Definitely been more competitive the last 3 weeks but I think that might be a bit of a stretch #onlyonewin

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@beccydangelo I obviously mean Novak. I wish tweets had an edit function

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@beccydangelo I get the luck is part of sports and everyone needs some of it. But down 2 sets in a QF and your opponent getting injured is too much. I get it’s not his fault, but I have trouble accepting that he may win it after benefiting like that

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@david_johnston5 @theweeklytimes @ctryfootyscores TDFL names that come to mind:
B Surrey (Beechworth)
J Spence (Barnawartha)
L Brooks (Chiltern)
R Barber (KSC)
Mitta probably has several

Maybe A Balfour for Moyhu in O&K

Surely CDU/CDHBU (Coreen/Hume) has somebody?

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

J Smith - not out, spike deemed conclusive, overturned. Benefit Australia

Carey - not out. Spike not in sync, stayed not out. (Australia)

Weatherald - not out, spike deemed inclusive, not out. (Australia)

I fear lots of English will point to this rather than how they played

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

Umps did the right thing under rules but rules need serious work if that’s not a catch. He was in control of ball and well inside the field of play. Hard to accept that there’s a way that can possibly be not out #moralcatch #BBL

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

How many “umpires call” DRS referrals have gone Australia’s way in this #Ashes @sirswampthing ? I’m not a whinging pom (not even a pom), just wondering what the overall stats are on it

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@Aryan42832Goel How many days has it been since England “won” a World Cup? 🤔

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

So does England at least get back that review they used on Carey (that should have been successful) for whatever is left of Australia’s first innings today? #Ashes

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

There was a ton & 2 50s in that test, definitely nothing to do with the pitch. The generation with a “T20 attention span” to batting for significant periods of time has well and truly arrived #Ashes2025

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@bombermurray11 @david_johnston5 I do like how RSL, now Club Corowa, aren’t as strict on footwear as they used to be. Can go in with thongs now

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

Not surprisingly, Rutherglen is the first one that comes to mind for me. Although that balance was only restored when the vic reopened a couple of years ago. Yack has a top and bottom but no middle

[David Johnston @david_johnston5]

QUERY: What country towns in regional Victoria and southern NSW still have a top, middle and bottom pub? @theweeklytimes

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@david_johnston5 Not that I’m in the know on truck debate but seems like finding an alternative is the biggest problem. I suspect when something is suggested, residents impacted by proposed new route kick up a stink. Leading trucks back to Main Street to battle with narrow road & parked cars

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@JamieMagill5 Roger Harper was an excellent fielder overall. But tarnished by trying to claim caught & bowled off Bevan (that he blatantly put down) in that new years one dayer. Was fitting that he was the bowler when Bevan hit the winning 4 off the last ball #cricketgods

[Grant Steed @grsteed]

@rhettrospective I love how Fox Footy included the University logo here

FWIW, I agree with you. Clubs can count those flags as part of their history but V/AFL can’t count them.
